Chapter 752 Mrs. Mi
It is said that Mi Fang "picked up" Liu Bei from the homeless, and after some grooming and dressing up, Mi Zhu dared to recognize him. But Liu Bei did not tell the truth that Chen Long was the real murderer. Even for Mi Zhu, he did not dare to trust him absolutely. After all, Liu Bei is now called the Emperor's Uncle and is actually just a homeless man. If someone told him that Mi Zhu had a change of heart, Liu Bei would not be surprised at all.
Mi Zhu believed Liu Bei's story. It turned out that the emperor's uncle was in trouble because he was dispersed by Yuan Shao's soldiers during the Jizhou battle. He was accidentally seriously injured and almost died on the spot. Fortunately, he was rescued by a caravan and spent more than a year recovering. The report was restored. As for where Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were, Liu Bei pretended to know nothing.
Mi Zhu knew very well that Guan Yu was in Juancheng, which was not too far away. For Mi Zhu, who has always been a wealthy businessman, Liu Bei's status as an imperial uncle is undoubtedly a super golden sign.
The Mi family is neither a wealthy nor a cultural family. Their ancestors have been engaged in farming and breeding for generations, have nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and have accumulated assets of hundreds of millions. Later, he was appointed as a special official by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, and he got a small official position. Completed the transition from businessman to official. After Tao Qian's death, Mi Zhu lost her support and went home to live in hiding. It was not until she met Liu Bei by chance that Mi Zhu's heart became active again.
How many emperors' uncles are there in trouble in the world? Of course, the icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when the time is right. Between the added insult to injury and the full support, Mi Zhu wavered several times and finally chose the latter.
From then on, Mi Zhu enjoyed good food and drinks, and entertained Liu Bei very much. Finally, the skinny Liu Huangshu became white and fat, and with the three-tufted long beard that he grew back, the courteous corporal and suave Liu Xuande seemed to be gradually coming back. As the saying goes, Liu Bei had been full and warm for a long time, and his eyes began to twinkle when he saw the beautiful maids of Mi Zhu's family. Mi Zhu thought twice and took the initiative to fulfill the old engagement, marrying his sister to Liu Xuande, and officially became the The uncle of the emperor.
On the day of Liu Bei's support of Mrs. Mi's wedding, Mi Zhu made another generous move and directly gave away a large house next to her, along with two thousand slaves, a hundred guards, and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver. Liu Bei turned around in one fell swoop and became a wealthy man with ideals. Weng.
Mrs. Mi was naturally beautiful, with skin as white as snow, which gave the troubled Liu Bei the greatest comfort. Her personality was gentle and gentle, with strength in her softness, and she could be described as a role model for women at that time.
In the official history, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang can be regarded as Liu Bei's first benefactors. They not only provided Liu Bei with money, but also betrothed their sister to Liu Bei, giving the low-level Liu Bei the capital to start his own business.
Mi Fang was originally a child of a truly wealthy family. Her ancestors had been in business for generations, and her family had tens of thousands of servants, and her property was very rich. At the earliest time, Mi Fang and her brother followed Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. When Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu saw that Liu Bei was magnanimous and ambitious, so he chose to follow Liu Bei after Tao Qian's death.
Mrs. Mi is a very virtuous woman. Although she is much younger than Liu Bei, she is really attracted by Liu Bei's magnanimity and serves Liu Bei wholeheartedly. At the same time, she gets along well with Mrs. Gan. At the same time, Mrs. Mi grew up in a wealthy family since she was a child, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation were naturally excellent. However, her living standard dropped too much after joining Liu Bei, and she had to endure a life of hiding here and there. But Mrs. Mi didn't care about this and still served Liu Bei wholeheartedly, so she was cherished by Liu Bei. Liu Bei also valued the Mi family because of their contribution and placed them in important positions.
It is a pity that Mi Fang met the selfless Guan Yu. Not only was this man Liu Bei's sworn brother, but he also became famous after flooding the Seventh Army and began to look down upon all the heroes in the world. Sun Quan and Lu Meng refused to accept and sent a large army to attack Jingzhou. Guan Yu strictly ordered Mi Fang to quickly prepare all supplies for the front line. If there was any delay, he would be severely punished.
When Mi Fang saw such a task, he immediately sent someone to prepare military supplies, but he was not a capable person. In the end, he was late and Guan Yu was furious, and he said that he would be punished severely when the war was over. Mi Fang has followed Liu Bei for many years and naturally knows Guan Yu's temperament. This matter will definitely not be let go easily, so Mi Fang falls into a state of constant fear and uneasiness.
At this time, Soochow threw an olive branch to Mi Fang. Mi Fang saw that there was no way to retreat, and her sister had died at Changbanpo. Liu Bei must be partial to Guan Yu, so he decided to surrender. However, what Mi Fang did not expect was that Guan Yu would eventually die because of this, and Liu Bei was extremely angry about this. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Mi Fang was finally brought back by Liu Bei, tied in front of Guan Yuling, stripped naked and forced to kneel, and was eventually killed alive by Liu Bei. The ending was very pitiful, and this ended because his family helped Liu Bei Unexpected at the time. If there was still a chance to choose, they might decide to follow another lord from the beginning.
After Liu Bei got married, Mi Zhu continued to contact some noted scholars who were also Mi Zhu's good friends, including Sun Qian and Jian Yong.
Sun Qian, courtesy name Gongyou, was born in Beihai County. An important staff member of Liu Bei's account in official history. He was first recommended to the state by the great scholar Zheng Xuan. Liu Bei led Xuzhou and took Sun Qian as his chief. He followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou and served as Liu Bei's envoy many times. After Liu Bei settled in Yizhou, he worshiped Sun Qian as General Bingzhong. His treatment was second only to Mi Zhu and the same as Jian Yong. In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and went south to join Liu Biao. He sent Sun Qian and Mi Zhu to meet with Liu Biao first. All matters were handled properly. Liu Bei was very satisfied. Together with Mi Zhu and Jian Yong, he served as General Zuo. Zhonglang. Liu Biao once wrote to Yuan Shang, saying that every time he talked to Liu Bei and Sun Qian about Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan's brothers committing suicide, they always felt heartbroken and sad. This shows that Liu Biao also valued Sun Qian very much.
Jian Yong, courtesy name Xianhe, was born in Zhuojun. His original surname was Geng, but the people in Youzhou referred to Geng as Jian, so they changed his surname to Jian. An important staff member under Liu Bei. Jian Yong met Liu Bei when he was young and later followed him around. He often served as a negotiator and went on missions. When Liu Bei besieged Chengdu, Jian Yong persuaded Liu Zhang, the herdsman of Yizhou, to surrender. Soon, he was promoted to General Zhaode and his status was second to Mi Zhu. Jian Yong was good at debating and discussing affairs. His temperament is simple, direct and informal. When sitting with Liu Bei, he also sat cross-legged and ignored his authority. When getting along with people except Zhuge Liang, he always occupied the same bed, lying down and talking, and never gave in to others.
Gradually, Liu Bei had more and more staff around him, and with Mi Zhu's support, even a small army had taken shape. Finally one day, Jian Yong was talking about people in the world and suddenly said: "Uncle Emperor, now your sworn brother has joined the Lord of Qinglong, and his garrison is in Juancheng. If you get Juancheng, you can monopolize the water transportation of the Yellow River." , it’s another world.”
Liu Bei covered his forehead with great joy and jumped up, saying: "It turns out that my second brother is in Juancheng! When I prepare my horses for a visit, I will naturally capture Juancheng!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
